PlayStation x Reebok 30th Anniversary Sneakers

As part of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, we’re also collaborating with Reebok on sneaker designs that pay homage to the original PlayStation console. The PlayStation x Reebok collection features three sneakers, each connected to one of PlayStation’s original launch regions: the InstaPump Fury 94 for Japan, Pump Omni Zone II for the U.S. and the Workout Plus, for the United Kingdom. 

Launching in October, these sneakers draw inspiration from the original PlayStation’s distinctive style, with Reebok sneaker silhouettes selected to match their original launch year and popularity at the time. All pairs come in unique, limited-edition packaging that mirrors the console’s original launch design, featuring a shared anniversary gray color palette and key nostalgic details.
